Moneyball: Baseball Truth or Hollywood Fiction?

Delving into the real life stories behind Moneyball and whether the movie grades out as truth or fiction. Clips of Scott Hatteberg comes from Everybody Pulls the Tarp podcast -    • Scott Hatteberg: Play Ball!  . A couple corrections I caught after making the video. First, Chad Bradford did join the team in 2001 and not 2002, so, similar to Giambi, that's another player the movie mis-characterized as a "new addition." However, the book did focus on him some and why the A's acquired him, so not completely out of place. Secondly. I did overlook that the book does describe Beane as a more involved GM in the clubhouse, but I'll still say the movie way overstates that.
